In spite of the war against Hamas, an increasingly fragile economy and a sever water shortage, Israeli entrepreneurs are continuing to innovate (hey, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature). VC Cafe has done a short writeup on each of the 20 19 companies presenting. You should check out his post and his blog here.
I have a couple of favorites:
- Free Way – aiming to connect existing navigation services and applications into one big shared network. Using that connection, Free Way plans to offer device agnostic, accurate traffic condition & social localized information in real time. Big idea in early stage. Founded in 2009.
- Qoof – brings video to the eCommerce world by producing online videos on products, inserting sales information into videos and promoting them through a distributed, multi-channel, targeted and personalized video commerce network. Qoof is one of the more experienced start ups on this list, and is already working with 500 retailers.
Check out the rest of the list here. Let us know if you’re attending and what you’re take on the event by emailing us at zack@israelnewsletter.com
